Deception
Misdirection and manipulation: making others see what you want them to see.
Deception is the craft of the lie: disguise, bluff and the false trail that sends pursuers the wrong way.
It doesn’t feed combat stats directly. It’s the signature of tricksters and performers, and a requirement of the classes that fight with misdirection as much as with steel.
